A manager’s job is to look after his fighter - to match him with opponents he can realistically beat but who will challenge him to improve.
The fighter who loses may blame his manager, claiming he was forced to step up too quickly and was not prepared for the jump in class.

But Luke Maloney cannot, and will not, make any excuses. If he blames his manager he blames himself, as he is one of a rare breed who looks after his own affairs.

Moloney’s love and dedication to the sport has given him the ability, not only to manage himself between training sessions but, to prepare himself mentally and physically for the challenges that awaits him.

Luke’s hard work and dedication to the sport is evident as he is always fit and ready to fight; with all his fights going the distance. Luke has a fantastic work ethic that has made him a favorite to Melbourne boxing fans and truly a promoter’s friend.

Luke is sure to always bring a crowd with him, and although he does not have a home venue he brings his crowd with him and is treated like like a local fighter when he steps into the ring anywhere in Melbourne.

One of Luke’s notable fights was his grudge match against former sparring partner, Chris Collard. The fight was one that outraged a large proportion of the crowd when it was announced Collard had won via a spit decision.
 
A resident Reservoir in Melbourne’s north, Luke Moloney has an experienced amateur background with 30 wins from 45 fights and currently holds a record of 12 wins from 15 fights as a professional, having not lost since 2006.

The loss came at the hands of Clinton Johnson; who Luke had earlier defeated as an amateur.

Even though Luke lost that fight, it was clear his technique was improving and that a new and improved Luke Moloney would be coming out very soon and that’s exactly what happened.  Since that loss in 2006, Luke has had won nine fights on the trot to having a shot at the Australian Title.

Luke’s most recent victory was over Tasmania’s Frank Ciampa, which Luke made his first  defense of his sate title.
Frank has a record that does not justify his skills, having fought some of the best that Australia has to offer, including Danny Green, Daniel Lovett, Josh Clenshaw, Ben Crampton (twice) and a win over tough man Dean Gayther.

Luke Moloney, who trains out of Glenroy, is the current OBA South Pacific, Victorian and WBF Australasian Super Middleweight champion but has his eyes on the prestiges Australian Super middleweight title.

But to get there he must continue his winning streak to ten, with a victory over New Zealand’s Steve Anderson and would seal the deal for an opportunity at a shot at the National Belt.
Anderson and Moloney will clash on Feb the 27th on the Omotoso V Valenzuela undercard.
